Eric Gordon to Point Guard?
Every thread I have seen for the past 3 months seems to have accepted two things as facts:
1) We need to upgrade the point guard position.
2) Eric Gordon is a SG so that position is not one that we should look too hard to upgrade in the draft or free agency.
Well what if we moved EG over to the 1? He has the ball handling skills, the passing ability, and is as good as anyone in the league in the pick and roll. While he would obviously be a scoring point, that doesn't mean he can't distribute. And don't we need more scoring anyway? This move would open up an enormous amount of options. We would be able to draft any of McLemore, Oladipo, or Shabazz without having to worry about clogging the starting rotation. Rivers would have time to develop on the bench and play both the 1 and 2. Having Vasquez on the bench, where most of us feel he belongs, would be perfect, as he is a more than capable backup and would be able to start in case of any Gordon injury. I'm sure there are problems with this move but I feel like it should at least be explored as an option as we move forward with the rebuild.

Some have been raving about his ball handling and passing for a 2. Color me unimpressed. It's fine for a 2 and below average for a 1 IMO. Maybe it's still some of the rust he has on him?

"Expect" "should" none of this "is" is what I'm saying. Everything about Gordon is pinned on hope of what he was and what he should be and what they expect him to get back to. I think we're saying the same thing but you expect him to get back to what he was, I expect a better form than he is today but less than he was before.

Also the your " true reality" (as if your reality is more meaningful or right than mine lol) doesn't divert from the "reality" that he's not a great ball handler today. There can be more than one fact in reality, they're not mutually exclusive.- Because Gordon has missed a year and a half he is not as good of a ball handler as he used to be.- this statement says the same thing were both saying and includes whatever your "true reality" and what my "reality " is. But that doesn't mean he will ever be as good as he once was. As I said before its nothing anyone can claim to answer, that's for the future.

Did you not see the part where he said "this team as constructed " do you think we're at all constructed like any of the teams you named ?

Why fit a square peg in a round hole if we don't have to?
